The Dingle Peninsula
People have been crossing the Connor Pass into the Dingle Peninsula for the
last 6000 years. Those who settled left behind more than 2000 archaeological
and historic remains. It is widely regarded as having some of the most dramatic
and magnificent scenery in Ireland. David Lean’s 'Ryan's Daughter'
in 1970 and more recently the Tom Cruise film 'Far and Away' were both filmed
in the area.
Muckross House and Estate
The House and Gardens are among the most popular of Irish visitor attractions
and were visited by Queen Victoria in 1861. Today, many of the rooms in this
magnificent mansion have been restored to their original Victorian splendour
and between the months of April and July, Muckross Gardens are spectacularly
adorned with the red and pink flowers of mature Rhododendrons.
